I think Hinch's brilliance had a lot to do with garbage can lids.

The lack of power is very concerning. It'll carry over to next year. Greene hasn't hit for much power this season. Dingler has solid power. Carpenter is not healthy enough to rack up a goodly number of home runs. Torkelson has power but it's tough to stay in the lineup with a .190 average. Everyone else on the roster will struggle to get to 10. Harris has constructed a roster with punch and judy hitters who, for the most part, have trouble even hitting singles. You can't consistently win with a roster constructed like that.

But I was told Hinch is the most brilliant manager in baseball.

Ramirez could be a HOFer just based on his games against Detroit. The offense is still on Harris. He hasn't added one solid bat since he's been the GM. But thank goodness we used the $13 million on Verlander and $30 million on Valdez. Terrible signings

Working the count is overrated. Starters are done after 5 anyway and usually the bullpen is full of guys going all out for one inning Go up there hacking, Tork

I will bet JV doesn't come back until after the all star break. Not like they actually want him back anyway.

A home run contest to decide the game....kind of as ludicrous as soccer having a shootout at the end...not that I watch soccer or care about it at all.

Its all about getting the games over quicker. Maybe play an extra inning and call it a tie? You could have a new pitcher stat, ties if you were the guy in the 10th inning.

I've worked for several companies and think people are a bit wiser on what they say, but I don't really talk to any co-workers about personal matters or see any of them outside of work. I am 100% all business at work, and I work with about 75% women and the other 25% are IT developers...the majority have zero social skills, so I just keep to myself. But as I mentioned, when I worked at the casino sexual innuendo and straight harassment was the rule rather than the exception. I was a 22 year old fresh meat dealer just paying my way through college and could have went to HR every night to complain about inappropriate comments or actions from the women supervisors and managers. I imagine the male supervisors were just as bad to the younger female dealers

He's looking good for free agency. If he keeps this up he will get a nice contract from a contender for next season.

You would think with all the examples of people losing their jobs from sexual harassment or whatever term you want to use, they would be a bit wiser. I have to think since the Bill Clinton era that it is common knowledge that this kind of stuff usually comes back to bite you.

The Detroit Tigers were the last team without an Intentional walk this season.

Will anyone on the roster get to 20 HRs by the end of the season? It seems like Dingler will I'm starting to think only Dingler, Carpenter, Torkelson, and Greene will even get to 10.

Maybe they can get the little Caesar's logo on the front.

I think a lot of these players are playing at the level of their talent. Maybe they just playing above their skill level before.

Max Anderson doesn't have the power to play 1st base. And the Tigers need Torkelson. If he doesn't improve, the Tigers aren't making the playoffs. So they might as well ride it out for the season and then decide what to do with him in the off season.

The Tigers have their new ace going for them tonight. Let's go Keider

It's crazy how a guy like Paddack just keeps getting chance after chance after failing miserably constantly. But Verlander might he back this season, so the Tigers still have a guy who can give up 6 or 7 runs in 3 innings

Because Hinch is still at least 4x as smart as anyone else in the history of baseball. Don't think so? Just ask him.

Or hit a home run...ever.

When I was in college I worked at a casino and my shift manager got fired because he sent out a text to a fellow dealer that if she wanted to get promoted she should come on over.

He sure likes to put guys on base

Paul Skenes is destroying the Rockies tonight. If ONeill Cruz had known how to catch routine flyballs in the season opener, Skenes would have an ERA around 1.00 on the season

AI generated holograms?

The Tigers have one of the nicest home uniforms in the league. The olde English D, for my money, is the best logo in all sports...not like the atrocity of the hat that goes with the trash motown jerseys. The old road uniforms were really nice too and I don't even mind the newer ones with the script.
